Use of special characters in Windows 2003 user names
What policy do I need to change to allow a Windows 2003 user name to include the '@' character ?
Thanks.
Thanks.
Under password policies in domain GPO, click on checkbox to select require complex passwords (I think 5 or 6th setting)

I see you are correct....it lets you create it, but you cannot logon with it...nevermind me!!!
Same goes with the \ character afaik as that also signifies domain\username

This isn't a domain user - it's a local user on a Windows 2003 server.
But if it did work how would it know that steve@otherhalfmyname is the whole username or it should look for steve on the otherhalfmyname domain?

If you put an @ it's going to look for a domain, and won't find it.
My point exactly.
